You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library.
If y oare having problem with iTunes not related to syncing try posting in the iTunes for Mac forum

Otherwise try restoring the iPod from backup

I'm new to Mac and iPhoto. How do I change 2.9Mb to 1Kb?

I need to reduce the photo so that it will be accepted for a special app but I haven't been able to figure out how to get iPhoto to do this.

If you select export from the File menu, you will have the opportunity to change the size of the photo. The measurements are in pixels, so you will need to experiment to find the proper size. As a guess, I think I would try 600 pixels which is a suitable size for the web. Change the size, export the photo to pictures and The size in Kb will be indicated. It may take some experimenting to get the size you desire.

how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

Hi sparkie,
You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

Hope this helps!
Cheers,

HT204053 I have set up a new Icloud ID using a new email address on my I mac however my Iphone Icloud ID is still using an old email address that is no longer in use. How do I change my ICloud ID on my Iphone to that on my IMac computer. I only want 1

How do I change my Icloud ID on my Iphone to match my ICloud ID on my IMac computer? My phone has an old email address that is no longer in use. I have a new email address that I have used as my ICloud ID ( Apple ID ) on my IMac. I want to be able to send photos from my Imac to my Icloud account and see view them with my Iphone. Can you help me ?? Thanks

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
When you do this, you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this happens, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

How do I change my iCloud email address as I made a spelling mistake when setting it up?

How do I change my iCloud email address as I made a small spelling mistake when creating my new iCloud email address originally?

When a user creates an icloud account, they use an Apple ID, like [email protected] to define it. If this use of an ID is what you mean, then NO you can't change it without creating a new ID and thus new account.
But if all you want to do is have a different email address associated with the account, then that you can do by defining an alias email address. Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Mail page. In the upper right there's a cog wheel, click that and then choose preferences, then accounts. In the icloud account, you can add a new alias. Note that it must be of the format [email protected]

How do I change my iCloud ID on my iPhone which an email address that no longer exists

How do I change my iCloud ID on my iPhone which an email address that no longer exists

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
